There are a few of them down here in Oz.

I have a van with a Mazda 12A in it. It was an unfinished project that I bought. The 12A looks really nice and neat in there. The gearbox remote shift needs to be shortened to make it work. I am undecided as to whether to put it back to standard (I have the original engine).

There is a lot of info about a Minor with a late 13B turbo with auto on the Morris Downunder site. You will have to join the message board to see it.
